Radiator
Definition:
The part of the cooling system that gets rid of the engine heat. Coolant from the engine flows past the thermostat and into the radiator where it is cooled by air passing through the fins. Internal corrosion and hairline cracks caused by vibration are the two primary causes of radiator leaks. "Stop leak" can be dumped into the radiator to temporarily plug small leaks but larger ones usually require professional repair or replacement. "Recoring" a radiator means replacing the heat exchanger section between the end tanks.
